Galatians

The apostle Paul writes to the churches of Galatia, expressing his concern that they have quickly turned away from the true gospel and are instead seeking to follow the law. He emphasizes that justification comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not through the works of the law, and that the law brings a curse to those who do not follow it perfectly. Paul recounts his own conversion and his meeting with the apostles in Jerusalem, where he was given the right hand of fellowship and acknowledged as a missionary to the Gentiles. He rebukes the Galatians for turning away from the truth and instead seeking to follow the law, and reminds them that through faith in Christ, all believers are equal and are heirs to the promise made to Abraham. Paul urges the Galatians to walk by the Spirit and not to provoke or envy one another, and to carry one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. He concludes by emphasizing that those who sow to the flesh will reap corruption, but those who sow to the Spirit will reap eternal life.
